THERMAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND A METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME

A thermal management system includes a refrigerant line circulating a refrigerant, wherein the refrigerant passes through a compressor, a condenser, an expansion valve, and a heat exchanger. The thermal management system further includes a controller configured to determine a flow rate of the refrigerant discharged from the compressor based on a target temperature in the heat exchanger and to control an opening amount of the expansion valve based on the determined flow rate of the refrigerant discharged from the compressor.
